Wanting “enlightenment” or “wisdom” 
from a spiritual teacher...

Many people simply want to "be light and love”, “be in the now” 
i.e. escape everything, which is unpleasant in us, in life and in the world -  
or even return to spirit!

Some hope to obtain wisdom or "energy" from a spiritual teacher, famous person, guru, etc. They read many books, attend talks, workshops, intensives - wanting to receive "enlightenment". 

And sure, the energy of a loving, wise being does touch our heart and soul, can inspire and help us to become more conscious of where we are not true to our heart 
and our Sacred Life.

But ultimately, we are here to grow towards "enlightenment" and our Sacred Life 
through our own conscious work - through fully and deeply healing, feeling, sharing and experiencing the journey we have chosen for this lifetime!

"When I was young, I learnt
 to simply be "positive".

In truth, we are told by others to
"be positive", "be love", "let go", "be in the Now",
because they themselves are still hurt and are
longing for healing, love and their Sacred Life!

When we are hurt (i.e. in the mind), we are not able
to truly feel whether the "teacher" is
teaching from the mind, or truly from a healed,
loving heart and personal journey.

Nobody can "give" us growth, or wisdom. 

We are not here to “know”, we are here to feel, share and grow.

We can only truly feel, based on our own experiences, 
which is what our chosen journey on the earth, 
over many lifetimes, is all about. 

So let us listen to teachers who do not primarily recite wisdom
and scriptures from others, or  words of "love, God", but who are truly devoted to the healing of their own heart, family, relationships and life. 

Let us listen to the wisdom of teachers, who are devoted to feel and share love and live their Sacred Life with all people (including their own family) and Mother Earth.

How much love and compassion can we truly feel, when we have not completely healed the many unpleasant experiences in our own life? Not even with our own father and mother?! 

Stillness of the mind, visualizing or thinking of "love", is not the same as healing and feeling love in our heart.

We can only feel love through our own heart and relationships _
 with ourselves, spirit/God, Mother Earth and above all,  with people!

Some people only want to be with a male 
or female teacher

We may only want to be, share or "heal" with e.g. women.
 
However, while this can be valuable and offer us some comfort initially, 
(based on our own unpleasant experiences of the past) 
we cannot heal completely if we avoid that which is unhealed 
in our life i.e. our experience and sharing with men.

If we have been hurt by e.g. a man (first, by our father), then we cannot heal 
our unpleasant experiences and emotions / feelings by avoiding men 
and only wanting to "share with women". Sure, maybe for some time, it may be valuable to withdraw from what has hurt us in the past (e.g. men).

But to truly be free (not only in the mind, but in our heart!) and heal, we must 
be able to feel and share love with all people!

 As always, there is a divine reason, that we have chosen such unpleasant experiences with e.g. men (and /or woman) - and it is always growth! Once we are conscious of this, and we can feel it, we are able to heal these experiences. 

As we heal what is in us, we realize that our feelings and relationships with men and women always reflect our own level of completed (or uncompleted) healing, forgiveness and love of our past experiences! 

The reason we are angry at men or women, is because we have not healed our core experiences with the first key man in our life, our father. Our own unhealed energy then attracts and re-attracts more hurtful experiences with men - unless we deliberately avoid them, or only choose "sharing and healing with women". This does of course not help us to heal and grow towards love.

Of course, most of us have been man and woman many times, but have chosen (soul) to come back for our further growth, healing and sharing!

To be able to deeply feel love and compassion, we must feel and heal every experience and relationship (with men and women) in our life.

Some "teachers" who are selling us 
"stillness of mind", being in the "Now",
creating the "perfect" life, 
are actually helping themselves and others
not to feel the unpleasant truth
of their own unhealed feelings, emotions 
family and relationships.

They are helping themselves and others to remain 
unconscious of what longs in their own heart 
for healing, forgiveness, love, compassion 
i.e. for their own father, mother, family, 
relationships and Sacred life!

But even this is "perfect" (when we realize
that their teachings only "work" on a mind-level),
as we are also here to learn to feel and discern
what is, and what is not, in harmony with our heart.

As we embrace our own healing, we grow more and more towards love, compassion, harmony, peace, freedom and our Sacred Life with all people and Mother Earth.

Let us listen to those teachers, 
who truly live and FEEL love and compassion, 
- who live their Sacred Life - 
with all people and Mother Earth.

Teachers (religious leaders, etc.) who truly feel love and compassion for every person and experience in their life (including their own father and mother, children!) AND all the people in the world, and who share deep love and harmony 
with all of Mother Earth.







Teachers who themselves are devoted to feel, heal, live and share their heart, 
love, compassion and Sacred Life with all people and Mother Earth.

Let us embrace and honour our own journey, 
where we have many opportunities to grow 
towards a deeper level of feeling, being and 
sharing love, compassion, our true self 
and our Sacred Life with all people 
and Mother Earth

Are we ready?
